Hi Folks,
A question for you grooming guru's out there.
How short should the fur on the back of a cocker be?
I recently took Millie to se my breeder and she asked if I had clipped her back - to which I replied "never! it's all been stripped out". She said that I had be a bit over zealous with my plucking and that I should let her fur grow longer.
So I have ceased all plucking
and her coat on her back is now considerably longer, and also darker.
Before when her fur was shorter on her back it lay smooth, however now it has gotten longer ,bits of it (particuarly around her neck) are kinda sticking up in swirly tufts. Also there is a general "swirliness" (excuse my made up word please!) all over her back, it doesn't lie smooth anymore, although it is still soft and silky.
Any advice on taming her tufts and the length the fur on the back/sides should be would be gratefully received.
TIA
Kel
